In what aspects are Toyo tyres lousy on wet road?

Does it frequently cause ABS to kick in when you brake?

I meant the stock models. Not all the other range. From my personal experience on wet road of coz

Toyo tyres are lousy on wet road? Which model are you using? Their performance tyres are T1R and R1R. Those are still lousy?

Oh stock tyres are comfort tyres and not performance tyres leh. Which car gives performance tyres as stock? Altis, vios, civic? I only know some "atas" continental cars give performance tyres as stock.

The tyres are stock until the first service run to be changed by the taxi company. But so far, for the Hyundai Sonata taxis, they stick with Kumho, which is quite a quiet and grippy tyre. I can't say the same for the older Crown taxis though. Why do I know? My dad is a taxi driver, so please don't argue with me. :D

And the bad habit of taxi companies, in particular Singapore's largest fleet owned by the gaverment, which don't replace tyres in a pair, and when taxis are due for scrap, they avoid changing even an almost bald tyre - related to me by taxi drivers.

Both are the same company right? Understand that one of them is the subsidiary of the other. Actually Kumho tyres are very under rated. They are quite grippy and quiet not to mention cheap too.

maybe its just me, don't think will try anything thats korean on my car. Some bros will of coz counter that but like i said its just me.

I simply had many product built problems with things that are built, made, engineered in Korea.

They are good at the onset and asthetics and a packaging, but somewhere along the way during use, something will just fail catestrophically, so I attribute that to built issue

Made in China stuff also no need for me to say much, but this is just my experiences with korean stuff.

However, I must say their LCD panels are rather cost effective and durable.

In the past, Honda made only motorcycles, so when they wanted to start building cars, everyone laughed  ;D

Dry and wet grip is good, maybe I drive like a turtle.
One thing to note that this model is noisy from 25k km onwards, I am now at 34k km and sound like a tank while on AYE (stretch near Bird Park). Other than that,  the noise is bearable.
